The reason it's occurring because from version 8.0, iText7 did several major breaking changes in the way they handle bouncy-castle dependencies. I assumed, your itext7 version is less than 8. So,

For resolving this issue, you need to install another Nuget package:

1. Name: itext7.bouncy-castle-adapter
2. Link: https://www.nuget.org/packages/itext7.bouncy-castle-adapter
